Description

Working with the AA | Me mahi tahi tatou ki AA For over 120 years the AA have been helping Kiwis on their adventures! Today, we're one of New Zealand's most respected and trusted brands. From our humble beginnings as a motoring enthusiast's club, the New Zealand AA (Automobile Association) has grown into a large, dynamic organisation offering many services and products to more than a million Members. And now, we’re building the organisation of the future – more connected, modern, and purpose-driven. We are a business in transformation, with opportunities to work cross-functionally, grow new skills, and make a meaningful impact. We’re investing in our people, platforms, and ways of working to stay ahead of what our Members and customers need. As we continue to evolve our delivery model, we’re recruiting two Value Stream Leads. These leadership roles are central to aligning strategy, funding, and delivery so AA can achieve meaningful outcomes for our members, customers, and people. Each role is responsible for end-to-end success of a value stream - translating enterprise priorities into measurable results while working closely with fellow value stream leads to ensure the wider delivery system works as one. What You'll Be Doing | Mō te Tūranga We’re seeking strategic, collaborative leaders to guide one of two value streams: Enable Our People – people centred, system enabled change This role empowers AA’s workforce with modern tools, streamlined processes, and data driven insights. You’ll shape future ways of working, strengthen digital maturity, and uplift employee experience. We’re looking for a leader with a strong record of driving organisational effectiveness and embedding sustainable, high performing practices. Product Viability & Growth – sustainable, customer centred value This role ensures AA products are conceived, delivered, and scaled in ways that create enduring value. From spotting opportunities through to design, launch, adoption, and continuous optimisation, you’ll lead the work that strengthens AA’s commercial performance and long-term viability. We’re seeking someone with a proven record of turning product strategy into measurable commercial and customer outcomes. How You’ll Lead As a Value Stream Lead, you’ll work closely with Product Owners and Delivery Leads to set strategic direction, shape prioritisation, and ensure teams are delivering the right outcomes. You’ll champion customer centricity, guide planning and governance, manage budgets, and remove barriers across teams and platforms. You’ll focus on outcomes (not outputs), develop high performing and psychologically safe teams, and build trusted relationships across the organisation to deliver meaningful, measurable impact. About You | Mōu To thrive as a Value Stream Lead, you'll bring proven experience of leadership in agile delivery or product management at scale, with the strategic acumen to translate vision into actionable plans that drive measurable outcomes. Your experience in lean portfolio management and agile governance will be key to navigating complex environments, while your ability to engage stakeholders and communicate with clarity will foster trust and alignment across the organisation. You’ll be someone who leads through influence, not hierarchy—skilled at building cross-functional collaboration and empowering teams to deliver value. Ideally, you’ll hold a tertiary qualification in Business, Technology, or a related field, and possess agile certifications such as SAFe, Scrum, or ICAgile to reinforce your expertise in modern delivery practices.
